[QUOTE="graceupongrace, post: 294822, member: 7371"] witsend, You're very wise to get more testing done. A couple of other thoughts: Anger can also be related to ADHD (trust me, I've seen plenty of it in my home). It's hard to tell if your difficult child was misdiagnosed when he was younger, or just never found the right combination of medications. There are also some medications (e.g., Vyvanse) that have been introduced in the last six years that have been more effective for us than older medications. The other thing is, untreated ADHD has been linked with a higher incidence of substance abuse. Of course, that's based on statistics, and our kids are people, not numbers, but it seems like you and your psychiatrist need to explore all avenues at this point. Hugs. Keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
